    2013 jeep wrangler unlimited with 164,000 miles (264,000kms). Would you buy it?

    3.6l Pentastar is a great engine, the 6sp trans behind it less so. They do however have some characteristic issues (valve train, oil cooler). That's a lot of miles regardless how it was accumulated, so I would look for evidence of proper maintenance. Price? If cheap enough I wouldn't worry...

    Can we now just go back to just calling it “car camping”?

    LOL, lots of angst in this thread holy shit. I think some of y'all care way too much about what somebody calls something, anything. "Overlanding" is marketed of course it is. Overlanding by any other name regardless how ambiguous or unambiguous it may be will be marketed in a similar fashion...

    How Overlanders are Ruining Overlanding

    If his goal is legitimately raising awareness and keeping trails open, bringing attention to violations publicly, and threatening to invoke the wrath of a bureaucracy if he doesn't get the apology he demands is fraught with failure. "We're going to shut these trails if you don't act right" "I...

    Bruder EXP-6

    I just traded a 2021 Power Wagon (for several reasons) but mostly because the tow and cargo ratings were no better than my Gladiator. If I was buying today, it would be a Rebel 2500 with Cummins. Ram crew cabs have a very spacious rear seat. Mega Cab is built on the same chassis as an 8 foot...

    Bruder EXP-6

    Without going into excessive and proprietary details I personally I would buy a Ram 2500 4x4.. I will say however that "manufacturer tow ratings" are largely pie in the sky bullshit with no foundation in reality once elevation and grade come into play.

    Something Weird in the Forest

    The number one threat to your personal security is human, frequently feral and available in a wide range of colors and patterns. In 2023, I would likely have done the same thing with a few minor changes . Most importantly you contacted the people whose job it is to deal with this type of thing.

    Don't be "that guy"

    Agree that the video should be posted or the thread locked. Everything is safe until it isn't. Ripping through the dessert in a vehicle at 70mph is perfectly safe, until something gets in front of you. Freedom is scary, and sometimes dangerous. Pearl clutching is disingenuous and always...

    Don't be "that guy"

    So you're of the opinion that a shot from a vehicle cannot be an aimed shot, or that you don't know where it goes? The simple fact a shot is made from a vehicle is in no way an indication of recklessness or lack thereof. I have shot many, many, many thousands of rounds from every kind of...

    Don't be "that guy"

    Are you going to share this video so we can form our own opinions? Wait, what? Rate of fire is your metric for recklessness? Somebody is clutching pearls. Post the link. ETA: I see you're not the OP, so I guess you can't post the link. The rest remains unchanged.

    Favorite Tire Repair kits?

    I don't think I can help you with your question. There are cold vulcanizing two part rubber compounds but these are not short cure time products designed for field use and lend nothing structural to a repair serving only as a barrier to water migration. Pretty much any penetration in a modern...

    12v fridge troubles

    If it isn't "full" it will work itself to death. 12v fridges are heavily dependent on the thermal mass of the contents to maintain temperatures. If you're not using it turn it off, if there isn't much of anything in there and it is hot outside it will work itself to death. I always prechill...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Now go outside, and no more TV for you until after dinner! Let that be a stern warning to you young man.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    The terms "civilized" and "rational" are not mutually inclusive nor exclusive. Everybody in America owns a gun. Some people just choose to have some other guy hold it for them and hope he shows up in time when they need him to bring it over.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I'm going to briefly take you off of ignore. "Tommy guns " full auto subguns are legal, and available. They weren't ever "taken off of the streets " You can buy one today provided you pay the King his ransom. I'm going to be generous and assume you are just the victim of propaganda and...

    Unsure what you are trying to say here, but not germane to the subject regardless.
